Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | MAVERICK (CE199) | W M Lai | TT | Settled about 4Ls back in 5th at 1200 M, still in 5th turning for home further behind bolting leader, dug in well to move to the front 150 M out and kept on convincingly. |
| 2 | 9 | GRABBIT (CG144) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | 5Ls back in 6th on fence at 1200 M, in 7th at top of home straight, finished off well to secure 2nd place inside final 50 M but never likely to grab the winner. |
| 3 | 11 | TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) | A Delpech | -- | Always prominent, wide without cover early, 3Ls back in 4th at 1200 M, 6Ls back in 2nd behind runaway leader at top of home straight, kept on same pace and lost 2nd close home. |
| 4 | 6 | CONNOISSEUR'S LOVE (CD234) | K L Chui | H-/B | Led by 1L on fence at 1200 M, went much too fast in front from 1000 M and shot 6Ls clear taking home bend, headed at 150 M out, tired late but just hung on for 4th. |
| 5 | 4 | PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) | N Ryan | PC-/B2/H/TT | Slowest to start, recovered to race in 8th but about 7Ls off pace at 1200 M, much further behind taking home corner, plugged on fairly late but never threatened a place. |
| 6 | 12 | POSA (CE337) | B Prebble | SR/H | About 12Ls last in rear at 1000 M, 3-wide taking home turn, made some decent late ground through the field, nearest at the finish. |
| 7 | 13 | WAIT FOR ME (CE332) | C W Wong | TT | Always in midfield or slightly worse, not closer than 8Ls to the front from 1000 M to home straight, kept on at same pace with stragglers. |
| 8 | 3 | MY LANSON (CE336) | D Whyte | SR | Dropped out in rear, about 11Ls back at 1000 M, still well behind and widest (5-wide) turning for home, stayed on evenly, set a very difficult task. |
| 9 | 1 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | O Doleuze | B | In 7th about 6Ls off speed at 1200 M when 2-wide, 8Ls back in 6th swinging for home, briefly loomed a place chance when 5Ls back in 5th at 200 M, found no extra. |
| 10 | 2 | SUNNY RIVIERA (CC240) | M Odendaal | TT | Never better than midfield or closer than 7Ls to the pace at any stage, always well held. |
| 11 | 14 | SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) | H W Lai | -- | Always in rear, hard ridden when over 10Ls back in rear taking home turn, weak effort. |
| 12 | 5 | SPECIFIC SORCEROR (CA321) | Y T Cheng | B | Dropped in rear and about 10Ls behind at 1200 M, not any closer turning for home, never a factor. |
| 13 | 8 | THAT'S IT (CE223) | G Mosse | SR | Keen early on and disputing lead out 3-wide no cover, left about 6Ls behind runaway leader in 3rd on the circle, very tame in the home straight, performance deemed unacceptable. |
| 14 | 7 | BEST CHOICE (CE038) | C K Tong | B | Bumped at start, disputed early lead, about 5Ls back in 2nd at 800 M, struggling and back-pedalling at top of home straight, dropped right out, performance deemed unacceptable. |
